Nutrient Dense Scotcheroos (Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar Free)

Scotcheroos are a crowd pleaser!

Who doesn’t love that peanut butter and chocolate combination. It is also easy to eat a ton of them. A friend of mine asked for a healthier version of these bad boys, and I was happy to oblige.

So, I found a regular Scotcheroo recipe like this one. Then, I modified the ingredients. This still doesn’t make Scotcheroos a health food, but it makes you feel a little bit better about eating a treat.

In a typical Scotcheroo, there is white sugar, refined cereal, corn syrup, sugary chocolate, and peanut butter (that may have some not so good ingredients). Using my simple swaps, we are at least getting quality sources of sweeteners, nuts, and grains. Maybe to even further balance it out, you should have a nutritious dinner like salmon burgers before hand. It’s all about balance, right!?!?! haha
